250 Year Anniversary of the Schönbrunn Zoo

250 Jahre Tiergarten Schönbrunn - Der älteste Zoo der Welt

It was in the summer of 1752 when the imperial bell sounded for the first time in the menagerie in Vienna, Schönbrunn palace announcing the arrival of His Majesty, the Emperor. Today the menagerie is Vienna, Schönbrunn Zoo; the oldest, yet one of the most modern the world has to offer.
